Investigations on the physical factors influencing the ear canal occlusion effect caused by hearing aids

The occlusion effect refers to the altered perception of one's own voice when the ear canal is fully or partially obstructed. While the loudness increase due to body conducted sounds requires an assessment by psychoacoustic methods, the ratio of sound pres ...

Normal Dendritic Cell Mobilization to Lymph Nodes under Conditions of Severe Lymphatic Hypoplasia

Melody Swartz, Joseph Rutkowski

To address the requirement for lymphatic capillaries in dendritic cell (DC) mobilization from skin to lymph nodes (LNs), we used mice bearing one inactivated allele of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) where skin lymphatic capillaries ...

Two-photon microscopy of the mouse cochlea in situ for cellular diagnosis

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Chia-Lung Hsieh, Xin Yang

Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss worldwide, yet the underlying cause is typically unknown because the inner ear cannot be biopsied today without destroying hearing, and intracochlear cells have not been imaged with resolut ...

Tissue and cellular imaging

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Chia-Lung Hsieh, Xin Yang

Systems and methods for imaging ear tissue include: directing illumination radiation to pass through an intact biological structure and be incident on ear tissue that does not include an exogenous fluorophore, at a plurality of locations, the illumination ...

Chip-scale array of artificial muscles for investigation of cell mechanotransduction properties

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Samin Akbari

We present an array of micro artificial muscles developed for investigation of cells response to mechanical strain. Few technologies can be used to realise this type of study. However, in most cases a compromise is required and one must choose between high ...

Design of a Semi-Implantable Hearing Device for Direct Acoustic Cochlear Stimulation

Yves Perriard, Hans Bernhard

A new hearing therapy based on direct acoustic cochlear stimulation was developed for the treatment of severe to profound mixed hearing loss. The device efficacy was validated in an initial clinical trial with four patients. This semi-implantable investiga ...

Feeling in control of your footsteps: Conscious gait monitoring and the auditory consequences of footsteps

Martin Vetterli, Olaf Blanke, Christof Faller, Fritz Menzer, Pär Halje

A fundamental aspect of the “I” of conscious experience is that the self is experienced as a single coherent representation of the entire, spatially situated body. The purpose of the present study was to investigate agency for the entire body. We provided ...

Potential novel drug carriers for inner ear treatment: hyperbranched polylysine and lipid nanocapsules

Harm-Anton Klok, Zuzana Kadlecova, Markus Scholl

Aim: Treatment of sensorineural hearing loss could be advanced using novel drug carriers such as hyperbranched polylysine (HBPL) or lipid nanocapsules (LNCs). This study examined HBPL and LNCs for their cellular uptake and possible toxicity in vitro and in ...
